Texas Whale Update
Texas Whale Update
What has two fins, two doors, a tail gate, and 588 cubic inches of Hell? Its the Texas Whale, built by Mark Artis at Texas Thunder Performance, and powered by a Diamondback Engines aluminum block motor. The 60 Plymouth 2-door wagon will be the biggest, baddest and ugliest Nostalgia Super Stock car ever — and it is rounding third and heading for home.
As we speak, the custom headers have been sent out for coating, the paint is being color sanded and graphics applied, the fuel and brake systems are finished, the mocked up drivetrain disassembled for detailing, and the wiring being strung.
I hope to have this car back from Frisco, in and out of the interior shop, and shaken down at the track by the Bowling Green Race.

64 Hemi Savoy For Sale & Ready to Race
While this car is really set up to run AA/SA in the IHRA, it is a perfect A/NSS car also. Motor has 20 passes and slicks 5. The Stickers have been removed, paint and body spruced up, and its ready for your graphics.
All of the details and photos can be found in the Free Classifieds, or on Racing Junk.
AHRA and NSS – Update
AHRA and NSS – Update
As many of you know, the AHRA is making a comeback. This year they’re having their “Reunion Tour” races, while they sign up tracks and iron out the wrinkles. Next year they say they’ll be starting their Championship Series in earnest.
I thought AHRA would be a natural for NSS — as they are more into the roots of drag racing, rather than Street Car appearances; and Regional Series’ for NSS would sure be nice for some of us who have to drive an average of 1100 miles to an event.
I contacted Troy Moe, who is the CEO of AHRA, and we worked out a deal to see how much interest there would be to run a couple of the “Reunion Tour” races as an Elimination Class — and propose something. I sent out quite a few emails, made quite a few posts, and talked to quite a few racers. While all agreed that NSS in the AHRA was a natural — everyone had their own reasons why they couldn’t run in the “Reunion Tour” races.
I felt like I was in the middle of a Mexican Standoff with each side wanting the other side first to prove something, and I’m going to back out as trying to be the liaison in this. Troy has offered to run the class as a “Trophy” event instead of “eliminations”, and if another NSS Racer wants to pick up the ball and try their luck at mediating a deal with the drivers and AHRA for that and Eliminations races in the future — I suggest they visit the AHRA web site, where they’ll find contact information.
I gave it my best shot, but I appear to not be the right person to get it done.

NSS & NMC To Be Featured on Competition Plus
Earlier today, I spent a little over an hour speaking with a reporter for Competition Plus. They’d found this site and decided to do an article on NSS/NMC Class racing. Competition Plus is a Flash Internet Magazine located at www.competitionplus.com, and as such don’t have long lead times. Expect to see the article early next week.

If you had tried to visit the site on Thursday or Friday, and were redirected to some Chinese site — then you know this. All has been fixed and hopefully we can stay ahead of the little peckers out there with nothing better to do.
